You'll speak to our owner directly, who will offer his expert opinion on a great hardwood option for you. Contact us today and we'll set up a no-hassle appointment for a consultation.
Top reasons why to buy Hardwood:
It's All Natural. Wood is a natural product in a diverse selection of colors and grain patterns. Who hasn't marveled at the beauty of a home with a fine wood floor? It's in our nature to love trees, to harvest them and to replant them. Wood is a part of our lives and our homes. There are more choices now than ever before… a wood floor for every taste.
Easy to Clean. Wood is the easiest floor to clean, requiring far less chemicals. Whenever someone says, "I think tile or carpet might be easier to clean," I point to my wood floor cleaning tools. With only a swivel mop and sometimes a non-aerosol spray, I can clean my wood floor in less than half the time it takes to vacuum, scrub or shampoo other floor coverings. Wood doesn't trap dust and fumes like carpet and doesn't grow mold in the grout like tile. Best yet, fewer chemicals are needed.
Green friendly. It's the best choice for the environment. Production is cleaner than alternatives. Wood production is much cleaner than other building materials. Steel manufacturing results in 40 times more pollutants than manufacturing wood. Concrete requires 6 times more and brick four times. Steel releases 3 times more carbon dioxide into the enviroment and concrete even more. Wood sends less solid waste to the landfill than manufacturing steel or concrete. Finally, wood is more energy efficient. The cellular structure of wood traps air, giving it superior insulating properties. It takes 15 inches of concrete to equal the insulation qualities of just one inch of wood.
Easy to Customize. You can redecorate by changing your wood floor with stains, faux finishes and inlays. You can easily and cost-efficiently change the entire look of a wood floor from time to time with stains, paints and inlays.
An Investment. Wood is a smart investment. There is no depreciation on a wood floor. In fact, it usually increases the resale value of a home. Real wood floors offer beauty for a lifetime — or longer! Every day people continue to walk on wood floors that are as old as our nation. For example, the floors in the White House, Washington's Mount Vernon and Jefferson's Monticello are still beautiful and practical today. Carpet is replaced 3 to 6 times before most solid wood floors ever need repair. Thus, wood floors cost less long term and add value to your home.
Recyclable. Finishes can be easily repaired or reapplied. As long as maintenance procedures have been followed, wood floors can be refinished instead of adding to the landfill (as happens with some other floor coverings). Our industry helps to preserve what is already there… the finest form of recycling.
Anti-Allergenic. Wood is an ideal choice for people with allergies. We spend 90 percent of our time indoors so your choice of flooring can be important. Wood is the floor of choice for anyone with allergies. It will not harbor dust mites or mold and does not trap dust or fumes. Some researchers believe the dust mite could be responsible for increasing asthma occurrence. According to the American Lung Association, wood floors in the bedroom and other main living areas can improve air quality.

Fat Pad Heel Injury: Discussion, symptoms and treatment.
One of the main roles of the heel fat pad is to smooth the effects of loading the body weight onto the foot. Just like the crumple zone in a modern car, the longer the collision takes, the less the forces are. This is true of a car taking a longer time to 'crumple' to a stop against a solid object, and for your body weight to stop its travel towards the ground.
The second is to pad the bony prominences on the bottom of the heel. As you could imaging, a heel bone, covered only with skin, hitting the ground repeatedly would be prone to damage of both the bone and the skin over it.
What is a Fat Pad?
The fat pad is composed of fat cells (adipose tissue) held within a matrix of fibrous connective tissue a bit like a kitchen scrubbing pad. Similar tissue is all over the weight bearing parts of the bottom of the foot but it is especially thick and resilient in the heel. Collagen fibres bind the pad into place against the calcaneous / heel bone and the skin and nearby structures.
How does a Fat Pad Injury to the heel occur?
Fat pad heel injuries are usually caused by either a one-off – sudden impact or by repetitive stress to the fat pad. Upon sudden impact or prolonged stress, swelling can occur within the tissue and the layers of the fat pad can separate from each other. In extreme cases, the fat pad can displace. This leaves the heel without the proper cushioning it requires and is a very serious, painful and debilitating condition.
Sudden impact fat pad contusions are usually caused by big events such as falls from heights and skydiving.
Repetitive stress to the fat pad is very commonly caused by running, start and stop sports, changes in directions and poor footwear choices, especially when running or under heavier load.
Symptoms of a Fat Pad heel injury
- Heel pain, often whilst weight-bearing
- Pain on the outside (lateral) side of the heel at heel strike
- Tenderness in the posterolateral heel area – this is the weight wearing part of the heel under the outside ankle bone.
- Pain can be felt by squeeing the tissue
- Swelling in the area
Risk Factors for a Fat Pad Heel injury.
- Heavy landing on the heels
- Long distance running
- Marching ( eg soldiers)
- Repetitive jumping
How is a Fat Pad Heel injury Treated?
- A fat pad contusion can initially be treated with rest, ice and elevation. A podiatrist should be able to help decrease the pain of a fat pad heel injury by strapping the area to help the fat pad in place. The condition can take a long time to resolve, depending on the severity of the trauma and you may need to learn how to strap your own heel for convenience. Your podiatrist can give you a lesson in this technique.
- The use of pain medication such as paracetamol is generally more useful than anti-inflammatory drugs in the long term.
- A podiatrist may also be able to recommend a shoe that has a well fitted heel counter as well as lots of cushioning for the heels.
- Neural Prolotherapy or Perineural Injection Therapy may help to reduce the pain of the condition and can significantly reduce the time taken to recover. This treatment is available at each of our locations but only with practitioners with additional training. Please ask when booking.

Hurricane IRMA Outreach
When Hurricane IRMA hit Florida it left a path of devastation. Especially in the rural farming town of Immokalee just outside of Naples. Many of the homes in this area could not withstand the winds and many residence took shelter at Ave Maria University. With the help of the Mother Theresa Outreach Project at the University, St. Casimir School has been able to help the students at Highlands Elementary School who are still struggling after IRMA. Through "dress-down-days" and other fundraisers, St. Casimir School has been able to send 40+ new uniform shirts in various colors and sizes to be distributed to those students in need. Each polo shirt included a hand written not from our students to theirs. We were also able to adopt a family of 4 children through the Highlands Elementary School's guidance office and provide them lots of Christmas presents.

Plans under way for East Gate Business Park development
Construction on the long anticipated East Gate Business Park development will soon begin. The City Council recently awarded a construction contract to extend Fairfield Road approximately 1,400 feet to the north.
The start of construction on Fairfield Road will allow Alaskan-based land development firm JL Ventures to begin construction on a 91-acre business/industrial park. This business/industrial park will be directly northeast of the Hill Air Force Base "East Gate."
This is the first phase of a 650-acre business park. The East Gate Business Park will be one of the premier industrial parks in Utah and will lure a variety of companies that will bring higher paying jobs to Layton City.
This new development will also help further Gov. John Huntsman Jr.'s economic development "cluster initiative" to bring more aerospace and composite manufacturing related companies to Utah.

Lately, I've been involved in chatter across the blogosphere and analysphere over the distinction between service-oriented architecture (SOA) and private clouds.
There's good reason for the confusion: SOA, in development in recent years, focuses on the development and delivery of shared services across enterprise walls; whereas, private clouds focus on the development and delivery of shared services across enterprise walls. See how different they are?
Okay, a way to distinguish the concepts is that SOA is about the architecture of the supporting systems; cloud is the delivery mechanisms. That still hasn't stopped vendors from "cloud-washing" their formerly SOA-centric products, such as governance and integration tools, and branding them as "cloud" solutions.
One Gartner analyst, for instance, considers SOA and cloud computing to be very different concepts, and cautions against confusing the two. SOA deals with underlying technology, cloud deals with business delivery, says David Mitchell Smith.
"People will say 'we are doing SOA so we are ready for the cloud', but the difference between SOA services and the cloud context is huge," Smith says. "With cloud, you pay for the outcome, not the technology. In cloud, the service terminology you are focusing on is a relationship between service provider and consumer, not technology provider and consumer."
However, other industry thinkers say effective cloud computing depends on the ability to deploy key SOA tenets: governance, loosely coupled systems, sharable services.
As insurance companies build on their service-oriented deployments and move to private clouds, expect to see plenty of market confusion of where SOA ends and cloud begins. But one thing is certain: an effective SOA deployment can lay the groundwork for cloud formations. Either way, many of our applications and systems will be delivered as services that will cross many an enterprise wall.

The ANNEX is a social space created by WIM & Medspan Associates, located in its old facilities at 248 Roebling Street in Williamsburg with the intention of bringing together the young, their parents and grandparents to share their multi-generational experiences and partake in the ever growing and enriching cultural influx of the city and its challenging evolving patterns.
Engaging a multi-disciplinary dialogue through tradition and innovation and its manifestations through the arts, science and technology lies at the root of the various workshops and events that will be organized starting in March 2014.
Activities on site will range from art workshops to social gatherings, concerts, exhibitions or projections of the resulting community works. An important component of the activities will also focus on health and disease prevention, and seminars of interest to all will be programmed regularly to complement our yearly health fair.
Our presence on the web and social media will endeavour not only to diffuse our activities but also to encourage a dialogue beyond our community so as to share our experience and learn from that of others.
The ANNEX is a place that wants to be yours to enjoy the other.
The opening of our new facilities was celebrated by a colorful community event conceived by renowned international artist Miralda from Spain, involving the participation of all through the sharing of traditional foods and drinks, art and music.
It was also our first Health Fair with our doctors in attendance, giving advice, taking blood pressure and sharing information.
It was no coincidence that we came to Miralda for this occasion. As an artist, he has been working for more than 40 years on the cultural manifestations and associations of food and art, creating his own rituals around particular events and celebrations. His most festive one being the HONEYMOON PROJECT inaugurated by Mayor Koch in 1986 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City. Many global events followed this first presentation of the Engagement Ceremony between the Statue of Liberty in New York and the Columbus Monument in Barcelona, a symbolic liaison between the Old and the New World that culminated by the official wedding ceremony in Las Vegas in 1992, year of the Fifth Centenary of the Discovery of America.
For us, it was a special and successful event to also stress our nutritional program.Right: the bilingual tablemat programs designed by Miralda. Below: "El Dia de los Sures", the June 2012 event as filmed for us by Beloze Productions, Barcelona.

I have no idea where to go next, I really REALLY mean it! This story has been stuck in the mud since (checks the dnecmuot properties) oh dear lord, September 2005!So come on, more ideas!We need setting (some kind of office is implied from the intro, but what sort of office/how big is open).We need a wider cast of characters.And perhaps most importantly, we need a plot. Or at least a goal that Colin will be aiming towards. So far the CC thinks Colin needs a pet, Moose has some madcap scheme involving global warming and a character straight out of the pages of a Clive Cussler novel, whilst JB just seems to want to hear more about Amanda the Well Endowed :rolleyes_wp:Oh, and expect something with minimal dialogue. I suck at doing voices. My father was always great doing the voices when he read for me as a kid. Sadly, that's one talent I haven't inherited.(And I do apologize for the style, but I was heavily under the influence of Tom Holt (and thesis stress) when I wrote that bit).

Kitchen Questions...
Questions to ask when renting a new kitchen space
(for business activity)
Rental Requirements
Do you rent the kitchen for commercial purposes?
Do you require renters to have insurance? What kind?
Is the rate hourly/daily? Is there a discounted rate for non-profit/unwaged?
Kitchen Amenities
What is the kitchen outfitted & certified to make? Are there any relevant restrictions? (for example no deep frying permitted)
What equipment is included in the kitchen - is there anything I am required to bring myself?
Storage and Access
What hours is the space available? Is there a way to get access in off hours in order to pick up/drop off product?
How much space is available for storage (for equipment, ingredients, and product)?
What kind of storage (dry and refrigeration) is there? If required, can I bring my own refrigeration space?
How long can I leave products in the space? Is the space secured from other users of the kitchen?
A project of Housing Services Corporation's Social and Environmental Enterprise Development and Food Forward's Kitchens Forward initiative.
Growing Food & Justice Initiative (GFJI)
Food Forward has been supporting the development of the Growing Food and Justice For All Initiative (GFJI) Local Empowerment Group (LEG). Soon after our founding we began discussing the connections between food, equity and racism/oppression in Toronto, and soon connected with folks from Afri-Can Food Basket, Green Thumbs Growing Kids, and others who did early work in food justice and in forming GFJI and Toronto's LEG. Food Forward staff and volunteers, Caitlin Langois Greenham, Linda Swanston, Vanessa Ling Yu, and Darcy Higgins (see here) have been working collaboratively to support the convening and strategic planning for our LEG, which plans to be an active food justice contributor in Toronto, connected as a strong partner of the international movement. In 2011, we provided anti-oppression training for Food Forward volunteers and members with positive interest, and a desire for more practical applications in community settings.
Most recently, Vanessa with others from Toronto visited Growing Power in Chicageo to attend GFJI's Intensive Leadership Facilitator Training: A Dismantling Racism through the Food System to further develop her roster of knowledge and skills around racial healing through food, and connect with the broader community of food justice activists. We are also pleased to connect with Hurly Navarro-Meraveles, Project Coordinator of Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants (OCASI) Positive Spaces Initiative and Food Forward advisor to deepen our examination of gender and sexual identities and newcomer communities, as we make anti-oppression relevant to our every day work together.
In 2013, we are excited to move forward with further anti-oppression training for Food Forward members and friends and supporting diversity work in the food and environmental movements with our partners in collaboration with the Sustainability Network and significant volunteer support from Sabrina Bowman. We also look forward to sharing key next steps for action from the growth of the GFJI network locally and welcome further participation. GFJI Toronto LEG does not yet have a website, so contact Darcy to get involved and join the listserv.

EL PASO, TX --Bond has been set at $1.5 million for a man accused in a West Texas attack that left his estranged wife, her boyfriend and her daughter dead.
Investigators say 35-year-old Luis Javier Solis-Gonzalez surrendered at the border a day after the bodies were discovered at a home in El Paso.
Solis-Gonzalez is in the El Paso County Jail on a charge of capital murder of multiple persons. Online jail records Monday did not list an attorney for the 35-year-old suspect.
The bodies of 34-year-old Marysol Saldivar, 42-year-old Eric DeSantiago and 13-year-old Cassaundra Holt were discovered Thursday. Autopsy results are pending.
Police began looking for Solis-Gonzalez amid concerns he fled to Mexico. He turned himself in Friday to U.S. authorities at the Paso Del Norte port of entry.

A nonprofit show company, the Ann Arbor Civic Theatre has been a regional staple since acting was discovered in 1929, producing comedies, classics, musicals, and dramas with local support and participation. With today's deal, you can settle into a seat during God Bless You Mr. Rosewater—a musical based on Kurt Vonnegut's bestselling novel telling the story of the slightly crazy, oft-intoxicated Eliot Rosewater and the young lawyer Norman Mushari, who plans to filch Rosewater's fortune. Or, attend director Matt Martello's production of Doubt, the 2005 Pulitzer Prize–winning play about questions of faith and character in a Catholic grade school. The principal, Sister Aloysius, impugns a new priest's behavior toward a schoolboy.

Elevated S100A8 (show S100A8 Antibodies) and S100A9 (show S100A9 Antibodies) gene expression in SP-infected HMEECs and in the middle ear mucosa of OM, minor co-localized with neutrophil markers suggests that middle ear epithelial cell secretion of S100A8 (show S100A8 Antibodies) and S100A9 (show S100A9 Antibodies) may play a role in the pathogenesis of recurrent and chronic OM
Expression of S100A8 (show S100A8 Antibodies), S100A9 (show S100A9 Antibodies) and S100A12 is modulated by eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid during Inflammation in adipose tissue and mononuclear cells.
The binding interface between S100A12 and the V domain of RAGE (show AGER Antibodies) has been identified and mapped.
S100A12 functions as a proinflammatory cytokine and activates dermal fibroblasts, causing dermal fibrosis
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the S100 family of proteins containing 2 EF-hand calcium-binding motifs. S100 proteins are localized in the cytoplasm and/or nucleus of a wide range of cells, and involved in the regulation of a number of cellular processes such as cell cycle progression and differentiation. S100 genes include at least 13 members which are located as a cluster on chromosome 1q21. This protein is proposed to be involved in specific calcium-dependent signal transduction pathways and its regulatory effect on cytoskeletal components may modulate various neutrophil activities.

Great Clips is helping you save time while you get ready for back to school with their Check-In App!
I have 2 kids that have ZERO patience, so being able to use the Great Clips Check-In App is definitely a help! We were able to check in and know about how many minutes we had before their haircuts. With that info, we were able to show up a couple minutes early instead of having a 20 minute wait.
We made sure to snap a couple of before pictures before they got called for their cuts.
Thanks to our use of the check-in app, both kids were able to get their haircuts at the same time!
The kids left looking pretty sharp and we did indeed have #moreminutes to spare!
So, what did we do with #moreminutes?
We got ice cream, of course!
We stopped by Scoops Old Fashioned Ice Cream Shop and had a tasty, hand-dipped ice cream treat!
Will you use the Great Clips Check-in App to get yourself some #moreminutes?
What will you do with those extra minutes?

Given a positive integer n, and that it is composite, find a divisor of it.
Input: n = 12; Output: 2 [OR 3 OR 4] Input: n = 187; Output: 11 [OR 17]
Brute approach: Test all integers less than n until a divisor is found.
Improvisation: Test all integers less than √n
A large enough number will still mean a great deal of work. Pollard's Rho is a prime factorization algorithm, particularly fast for a large composite number with small prime factors. The Rho algorithm's most remarkable success was the factorization of eighth Fermat number: 1238926361552897 * 93461639715357977769163558199606896584051237541638188580280321.
The Rho algorithm was a good choice because the first prime factor is much smaller than the other one.
Concepts used in Pollard's Rho Algorithm:
- Two numbers x and y are said to be congruent modulo n (x = y modulo n) if
- their absolute difference is an integer multiple of n, OR,
- each of them leaves the same remainder when divided by n.
- The Greatest Common Divisor is the largest number which divides evenly into each of the original numbers.
- Birthday Paradox: The probability of two persons having same birthday is unexpectedly high even for small set of people.
- Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm: If tortoise and hare start at same point and move in a cycle such that speed of hare is twice the speed of tortoise, then they must meet at some point.
- Start with random x and c. Take y equal to x and f(x) = x2 + c.
- While a divisor isn't obtained
- Update x to f(x) (modulo n) [Tortoise Move]
- Update y to f(f(y)) (modulo n) [Hare Move]
- Calculate GCD of |x-y| and n
- If GCD is not unity
- If GCD is n, repeat from step 2 with another set of x, y and c
- Else GCD is our answer
Let us suppose n = 187 and consider different cases for different random values.
- An Example of random values such that algorithm finds result:
y = x = 2 and c = 1, Hence, our f(x) = x2 + 1.
- An Example of random values such that algorithm finds result faster:
y = x = 110 and 'c' = 183. Hence, our f(x) = x2 + 183.
- An Example of random values such that algorithm doesn't find result:
x = y = 147 and c = 67. Hence, our f(x) = x2 + 67.
Below is C/C++ implementation of above algorithm:
/* C++ program to find a prime factor of composite using Pollard's Rho algorithm */ #include<bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; /* Function to calculate (base^exponent)%modulus */ long long int modular_pow(long long int base, int exponent, long long int modulus) { /* initialize result */ long long int result = 1; while (exponent > 0) { /* if y is odd, multiply base with result */ if (exponent & 1) result = (result * base) % modulus; /* exponent = exponent/2 */ exponent = exponent >> 1; /* base = base * base */ base = (base * base) % modulus; } return result; } /* method to return prime divisor for n */ long long int PollardRho(long long int n) { /* initialize random seed */ srand (time(NULL)); /* no prime divisor for 1 */ if (n==1) return n; /* even number means one of the divisors is 2 */ if (n % 2 == 0) return 2; /* we will pick from the range [2, N) */ long long int x = (rand()%(n-2))+2; long long int y = x; /* the constant in f(x). * Algorithm can be re-run with a different c * if it throws failure for a composite. */ long long int c = (rand()%(n-1))+1; /* Initialize candidate divisor (or result) */ long long int d = 1; /* until the prime factor isn't obtained. If n is prime, return n */ while (d==1) { /* Tortoise Move: x(i+1) = f(x(i)) */ x = (modular_pow(x, 2, n) + c + n)%n; /* Hare Move: y(i+1) = f(f(y(i))) */ y = (modular_pow(y, 2, n) + c + n)%n; y = (modular_pow(y, 2, n) + c + n)%n; /* check gcd of |x-y| and n */ d = __gcd(abs(x-y), n); /* retry if the algorithm fails to find prime factor * with chosen x and c */ if (d==n) return PollardRho(n); } return d; } /* driver function */ int main() { long long int n = 10967535067; printf("One of the divisors for %lld is %lld.", n, PollardRho(n)); return 0; }
One of the divisors for 10967535067 is 104729
How does this work?
Let n be a composite (non-prime). Since n is composite, it has a non trivial factor f < n. In fact, there is at least one f <= √n .
Now suppose we have to pick two numbers x and y from the range [0, n-1]. The only time we get x = y modulo n is when x and y are identical. However, since f < √n, there is a good chance x = y modulo f even when x and y are not identical (Birthday Paradox).
We begin by randomly selecting x with replacement from the set {0, 1, …, n-1} to form a sequence s1, s2, s3 … Defining śi = si mod f, our sequence now has each śi belonging to {0, 1, …, f-1}. Because both the sets are finite, eventually there will be a repeated integer in both. We expect to achieve the repeat earlier in śi, since f < n. Now, say śi = śj for i ≠ j, then, si = sj modulo d. And hence, |si – sj| will be a multiple of f. As per assumed above, n is also a multiple of f. Together this means that GCD of |si – sj| and n will be positive integral multiple of f, and also our candidate divisor d! The catch here is that we just knew there had to be some divisor of n, and we didn't even care of its value. Once we hit si and sj (our final x and y) then each element in the sequence starting with si will be congruent modulo f to the corresponding element in the sequence starting with sj, and hence, a cycle. If we graph the sequence si, we will observe the shape of Greek letter Rho (ρ).
At the heart of Rho algorithm is picking up random values and evaluating GCDs. To decrease the costly GCD calculations, we can implement the Pollard's Rho with Floyd's cycle detection (which can be understood with the tortoise-hare analogy where the tortoise moves through each element one at a time in order, and the hare starts at the same point but moves twice as fast as the tortoise). We shall have some polynomial f(x) for the same, start with random x0, y0 = x0, and compute xi+1 = f(xi) and yi+1 = f(f(yi)). Since we don't know much about d, a typical choice for the polynomial is f(x) = x2 + c (modulo n) (Yes, 'c' is also be chosen randomly).
- Algorithm will run indefinitely for prime numbers.
- The algorithm may not find the factors and return a failure for composite n. In that case, we use a different set of x, y and c and try again.
- The above algorithm only finds a divisor. To find a prime factor, we may recursively factorize the divisor d, run algorithm for d and n/d. The cycle length is typically of the order √d.
Time Complexity analysis:
The algorithm offers a trade-off between its running time and the probability that it finds a factor. A prime divisor can be achieved with a probability around 0.5, in O(√d) <= O(n1/4) iterations. This is a heuristic claim, and rigorous analysis of the algorithm remains open.

The cracking sound and almost black blood have haunted Rick Brown for close to 55 years, leaving invisible scars and one abiding question: What became of young James Forbes?
The last time Brown saw James is forever etched in his mind -- moments that have stretched into decades.
As Brown tells it, the boys were drifting off to sleep in the darkened dormitory at the provincial training school in Cobourg, Ont., when a supervisor's booted footsteps sounded in the corridor and the lights flipped on. The man walked over to James' bunk bed and ordered him to get up. James refused. Brown, fearing a beating coming, says he whispered urgently to the boy to get up.

The Uglo Society
I have to admit I didn't know what I was going to go on about this week. What? Had I ranted on about everything I found offensive already? That can't be possible! I looked around at the world surrounding me and realized I had been hiding in my own little bubble. Everything is so nice in there. But outside – it's just plain ugly.
Just this morning there was a picture on facebook of a young man with his pants hanging halfway down his ass, and the caption was that this was a sign of availability in prison. Well, I guess it better be 'cause he sure as hell ain't goin' to run very far or very fast dressed like that.
Of course then there's the women with their boobs hangin' out to the nipples. Reminds you of an upper body plumber's picture. They aren't going to run very far very fast either for fear of everything falling out all over the place. Well, it would spoil the picture if it were all left up to the force of gravity, now wouldn't it.
But let's stick to the males. We seem to have a new image emerging. We've already talked about blue jeans with fancy sports coats and even tuxedo jackets and track shoes. Now we've got more and more people shaving their heads to prove I don't know what – maybe that they're too lazy to wash or comb their hair. Well, if that isn't bad enough, now more and more you see men with stubble beards – like they haven't shaved for five days or so. What kind of fashion statement is that?
A few years ago Rush Limbaugh did a send up on "Uglo-Americans", citing them as insidiously infiltrating the whole American public, in stores, offices, on the streets and in all the malls. He put on such a good show; people were actually reacting to it.
Well, be careful what you ask for. You might just get it. And get it we did! We can't blame it all on the Americans either. Increasingly, there are Uglo-Canadians, Uglo-Brits, Uglo-French and so on. Everybody is creating a whole Uglo-Society. The world looks more like it did in the dirty thirties than it did only a few years ago. Only thing was in the dirty thirties, there was no other choice.
They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but holy Hannah – there must be a better variety of covers to be had. Just who is making these fashion statements anyway? I pass one of these creatures on the street, I automatically smell the air to see just how bad hey stink. I tend to sniff the TV too.
As far as I'm concerned, we're slithering down the slippery slope to what we will become, and its just plain ugly. We are becoming the Uglos. At least that's the way I see it from up here on the top shelf.
Just sayin'.

We had entered the Hebrew Month of Shevat
What is Shevat? 1) 11th month of the 12 months according to the Hebrew calendar
2) Linked with Tribe Asher stands for Pleasure, Happiness, Fatness and be aware of the delicacies of the king – Look at the book of Daniel – do not be deceived by the world or people offering things that looks great and what is harts desire – Need to be like Daniel – fast and gets Gods insight and discernment during this month
3) This is the time to reconnect with your trees – Look at Psalm One. Ask one self – What type of tree am I? What trees did I plant? How does the roots look? Where does the tree gets is water from? Is it healthy trees and fruit full trees?
4) This is a month to shout out "My blessings are on the way" but we need to make sure we are in Gods timing and that God gives the water!!
So during this month keep on making sure where are you getting your water from? Who is doing the pruning of the tree? What type of fruit are you bearing???
Mediate of Gods word especially
Psalm 1:3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.
Psalm 1:2 But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.
Psalm 92:13 But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. 13 For they are transplanted to the Lord's own house. They flourish in the courts of our God. 14 Even in old age they will still produce fruit;
they will remain vital and green. 15 They will declare, "The Lord is just! He is my rock! There is no evil in him!
Jeremiah 1:11-12 Then the Lord said to me, "Look, Jeremiah! What do you see?"
And I replied, "I see a branch from an almond tree." 12 And the Lord said, "That's right, and it means that I am watching,[a] and I will certainly carry out all my plans."
Ezekiel 17:5-6 He also took a seedling from the land and planted it in fertile soil.
He placed it beside a broad river, where it could grow like a willow tree.
6 it took root there and grew into a low, spreading vine. Its branches turned up toward the eagle, and its roots grew down into the ground. It produced strong branches and put out shoots.
Psalms 52:8 But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. I will always trust in God's unfailing love.
Isaiah 44:4 They will thrive like watered grass, like willows on a riverbank.

Discover Probiotics
While many of us hear "bacteria" and think "infection-causing bugs", the truth is, there are hundreds of strains of good-for-you bacteria that line your digestive tract. These good guys help your body break food down so you can absorb its nutrients. But, diet changes, stress or using antibiotics can wipe some of them out. That means, our digestive systems can always use a little help.
Enter probiotics — supplements that help your body out by adding back the good.
Keeps your digestive system moving*- With one easy-to-swallow capsule a day, our probiotics give you 25 billion CFU (colony-forming units) of good bacteria, including the well-studied L. acidophilus NCFM and B. lactis HN019. They've been clinically proven to help keep your digestive system running smoothly.
Gives your immune system a helping hand*- Our six-strain formula helps good bacteria make their home all along your intestinal tract, counterbalancing bad bacteria that can make you sick. And, it can help your natural immune system out.
Specially formulated to work where you need it* - Our unique capsules are made with BioXtend™ Technology to protect the probiotics against harsh stomach acid. This helps them make it to your lower digestive tract — where you need them most.
Store at room temp - Our probiotics never need to be refrigerated, even when they're opened. So you can stash them in any cool, dry place and get on with your routine.
The Details
Product Description: Each capsule of our six-strain probiotic blend (including L. acidophilus NCFM and B. lactis HN019) gives you 25 billion CFU of good-for-you bacteria that help keep your digestive system working smoothly, and support your immune system.* Our unique acid-resistant capsules use BioXtend™ Technology to protect the probiotics against stomach acid and deliver them to the lower GI tract — where they're needed most.
Each serving contains:
Proprietary Blend 25 billion CFU**
Bifidobacterium lactis (HN019™)
Lactobacillus acidophilus (NCFM®)
Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp-115®)
Bifidobacterium bifidum (Bb-06)
Bifidobacterium breve (Bb-03)
Lactobacillus rhamnosus (Lr-32®)
Ingredients: Bifidobacterium lactis (HN019™), Lactobacillus acidophilus (NCFM®), Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp-115®), Bifidobacterium bifidum (Bb-06), Bifidobacterium breve (Bb-03), Lactobacillus rhamnosus (Lr-32®), BioXtend™ Vegetarian Capsule (Hypromellose and Gellan Gum), Microcrystalline Cellulose and Silicon Dioxide.
Serving Size: 1 Vegetarian Capsule
Number of servings per container: 60
How We're Different
Today, most probiotic capsules break down in your stomach, and stomach acid isn't kind to some strains. That means, they may not make it all the way to your lower digestive tract — where you need them most. Our innovative BioXtend™ capsules are shown to protect the probiotics from stomach acid and delay their release, so you get more of the good stuff right where you want it.*
Our advanced six-strain formula includes two of the most well-studied cultures (L. acidophilus NCFM and B. lactis HN019), shown to support overall digestive balance and a healthy immune system.* So, you can go with your gut without second-guessing.
You can store our probiotics in any cool, dry place when you're out and about because each batch is third-party-verified to be stable at room temp. So, they're great for your day-to-day rush.
Our probiotics are made in the USA in GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice)-Certified facilities, and no solvents or preservatives are used. Our capsules are veggie-friendly, too!
Ways to Enjoy
Take one capsule 1-2 times daily with or without food.

Who is John Goodlette?
John David Goodlette was born in Hazard, KY on November 14, 1925, the middle child of Dudley and Lillian Goodlette. At a young age he had a passion for flight and dreamed of designing planes. He would often assemble model aircraft and his hobbies would later expand to include piloting gliders and small aircraft. This sparked an interest in engineering at an early age. Later in life he would go on to become a highly successful engineer who worked extensively in aerodynamics and rocketry, specifically with the Titan rocket and Viking Mars landers.
He graduated from Hazard High School in 1943. After graduating from high school he enrolled at the University of Kentucky where he would study mechanical engineering. His studies were put on hold at the onset of World War 2 when he joined the United States Army. He completed Officer's Training School and went on to serve as a lieutenant until the end of the war, operating as a tugboat captain in the South Pacific. After returning he resumed his studies and graduated from the University of Kentucky as a mechanical engineer in 1949. After graduation he continued to work at the University's Aeronautical Research Laboratory with a focus on internal combustion engines.
John Goodlette receiving special honors award from Martin Marietta Corporation
He was initially employeed by H.A. Spaulding, Engineers of Hazard but was hired by the Martin Marietta Corp., (now Lockheed Martin) in 1952 where he would spend the majority of his professional career. His research focused on jet propulsion, heat transfer and liquid metals technology.
In 1955 he was assigned to the Ballistic Rocket Development Group and would later participate in the development of the Titan I rocket. To supplement his education he continued to take courses as his career progressed, including courses in nuclear physics, high speed gas dynamics and electrical engineering.
His next major career step came in 1958 when he was named Technical Director for the United States Army Pershing Weapon System. He would later become the Project Manager for the Pershing Research and Development Program.
In 1962 he was reassigned to Martin Marietta's Denver Division where he held a variety of titles including Manager of several divisions including Propulsion and Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering and Planetary Systems Engineering. He would later go on to serve as Vice President of the company. He retired in 1991 after 39 years, most of them in aerospace engineering.

The high point of his career came in 1976 when two Viking spacecrafts landed on the surface of Mars. John served as Chief Engineer on this 10 year project.
John Goodlette and wife Jeannette
John married his wife Jeannette in 1952 and later had three children, Sarah, David and Alice. After retiring John focused on his favored hobby of flying gliders and he served on the board of directors for both the Colorado Soaring Association and the Black Forest Soaring Society and was a long-time member of both organizations. He also served on the Board of Trustees for the Black Forest Community Church and sang in the choir for many years.

Made in Aalto: Virtual reality will revolutionise meetings
Aalto University's Product Design Gala presented multidisciplinary student teams' year-long ambitious product development projects.
Each year the Product Development Project course brings together design, business, and technology students into close teams to present at the annual Product Design Gala. This year they cooperated closely with mentors and business partners from various fields. Examples of projects include innovative solutions for the waste management in airplanes, a wine's alcoholic strength reducer, and, a residents 'community hub' Kenno in Espoo's Suurpelto. All the work was impressive, but the aptly named "Team Awesome" stand is a futuristic one.
The team partnered with Furniture Company Isku, with whom they met every couple of weeks. Isku reviewed and evaluated the ideas and gave the guidelines for the project. At Awesome's stand, there are two open booths, with wooden tables and low glass walls. The booths themselves are not anything special. They resemble voting booths or children's playpens. However, in the booth you put on the Daft Punk-inspired, black and white device and your instantly transported…. to a virtual meeting space.. The Futur branded virtual reality glasses, which can be used, for example, to hold meetings with your partner on the other side of the world. When a conference or a meeting can be joined from anywhere in the world and everyone can really feel that they are in the same space.
Lauri Oittinen who participated in the project, says that the only limit to the use of the glasses is your imagination. You can start building the world of virtual reality nearly from scratch. You can create your own version of The Matrix, or, a virtual location abroad. All you need is enough footage so that the 3D experience can be done on a computer.
Mechanical engineering student Ville Hiltunen had, since high school, been intrigued by Aalto's promise of innovative new programs. Now here, the University doesn't disappoint. According to Hiltunen, the best thing about his studies are that there are so many possibilities. You can choose courses from a wide selection of classes, for example, courses from the fields of Business and economics, and Art and Design, even though you would be majoring in machine design.
University studies at Aalto include plenty of classes and lectures, but it is important that the knowledge and skills are tested in practice as part of the coursework. Hiltunen points out that the great thing about Aalto is that in Design Factory there is an environment or culture, where you get to build real stuff, and real products.
Aalto University gives you more than a degree – such as valuable knowhow, working experience and contact networks. Choose your favorite degree programme from our broad selection and find more information about admissions: aalto.fi/studies
#madeinaalto presents interesting projects and inspiring people in the Aalto community.

Citigold Corporation signs development deal with Chinese gold group
Gold producer Citigold Corporation (ASX: CTO, FSE: CHP) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Henan Jinqu Gold Company Limited (Jinqu), China, to form a joint venture company to develop the City mines of Citigold's Charters Towers gold project in North Queensland.
The high-grade deposit is Australia's richest major goldfield and contains a gold resource of 10 million ozs (23 Mt @ 14 g/t) with exceptional growth potential. Gold output targets growing to 300,000 ozs per year with gold production cash costs under A$350 per oz.
Under the terms of the MOU Jinqu may acquire up to a 50% interest in the joint venture company which will own granted mining leases with permits to mine and associated infrastructure, containing a gold Mineral Resource of 1.8 million ounces.
Henan Jinqu Gold Company Limited's main business is the exploration,
mining, processing and smeltering of gold. The company is also engaged
in research, development, production and sales of synthetic diamonds.
The company is a member of the Shanghai Gold Exchange.
The City mining area is where Citigold carried out the initial exploration in the 1990's after acquiring the first part of the Charters Towers goldfield. Full control of the goldfield was obtained in 2004.
Citigold's Gold Production Plan for the design and development work has been undertaken with the aim of producing 200,000 ounces per annum from the City mines. The City includes the major Sunburst, Brilliant and Day Dawn reefs to be developed together as one 'super' mine.
Citigold has internally budgeted that the development of the City operations should take 24 months and cost up to $70 million. The development of the City is to be separate from the 100% owned Warrior mine and the existing 340,000 tonne capacity gold processing plant.
